Elora Gorge, Limestone valley in Ontario, Canada
The Grand River flows through limestone cliffs reaching heights of 22 meters, creating vertical rock walls along the water's path.
The formation emerged during the last ice age when glacial meltwaters carved through the existing limestone bedrock, shaping the current geological structure.
The conservation area represents part of the Grand River system, designated as a Canadian Heritage River flowing 300 kilometers from Dundalk to Lake Erie.
Visitors can access 450 camping sites, marked hiking trails, and water activities between May 1 and October 15, with advance reservations recommended during summer.
The gorge contains a section of class III rapids where experienced kayakers navigate through narrow channels between limestone walls.
